Market Treemap

Trade Echo's market treemap is a heatmap of the entire market. Each stock is sized by market cap and colored by performance - green for up, red for down. Use it to quickly spot hot sectors and weak sectors, then drill into opportunities.

Market treemap showing sector performance by market cap

What is the Treemap?​

Visualization​

  • Size: Market cap - larger tiles = bigger companies
  • Color: Performance - green = up, red = down
  • Layout: Sector and industry grouping

What You Get​

  • Market overview at a glance
  • Sector rotation - which sectors are leading or lagging
  • Relative strength - green tiles in a red sector = standout names
  • Pre-market context - where money is flowing before the open

How to Use the Treemap​

Pre-Market Analysis​

Before 9:30 AM, scan the treemap for:

  • Green clusters: Sectors with broad strength
  • Red clusters: Sectors under pressure
  • Outliers: Green stocks in red sectors (relative strength) or red stocks in green sectors (relative weakness)

Sector Rotation​

  • Hot sectors: Large green areas - consider longs in leaders
  • Weak sectors: Large red areas - consider shorts or avoid
  • Rotation in progress: Mixed colors - sector in transition

Finding Opportunities​

  1. Confirm OptionFlow signals: OptionFlow shows bullish flow on XYZ - check treemap. Is XYZ in a green sector? Higher conviction.
  2. Validate sector thesis: You're bullish on tech - treemap shows tech green. Thesis supported.
  3. Spot reversals: Red sector with one green stock - potential bounce candidate or relative strength play.

Quick Reference​

Daily Workflow​

  1. Pre-market: Open treemap, note green vs red sectors

  3. Throughout day: Check for sector rotation or new green/red clusters
  4. Swing prep: Identify sectors with sustained green for position ideas

  • Combine with OptionFlow, Snapshot, NewsEdge for full picture
  • Green sector + bullish flow + good chart = high conviction
